Rain Harvester

Rain harvesting, also known as rainwater harvesting, is the practice of collecting and storing rainwater for later use. It is an ancient technique that has been used for centuries in various parts of the world to overcome water scarcity and conserve water resources.

Rainwater harvesting systems typically involve the collection of rainwater from rooftops, which is then directed into storage tanks or underground reservoirs. The collected rainwater can be used for a variety of purposes such as irrigation, landscaping, toilet flushing, and even drinking water with proper filtration and treatment.
